*I prefer my NEW recording of this piece:* ruclips.net/video/tt7KfaSaoRQ/видео.html
The new recording is indeed fantastic, and perhaps better for appreciating the detail of this beautiful composition, but for me it is with this earlier version that I can actually *feel* the presence of the Queen of Sheba!
Prefer this one, your sound are too soft.
WOW! In all honesty, possibly the VERY BEST performance I have heard of this famous piece. When I saw what you were going to play, I admit, I groaned. But .... you did it Richard .... you grabbed my attention 100% and I thoroughly enjoyed it, probably for the first time in yonks. The speed, articulation and registration were, as always, simply spot on. Thank you so much. Tx
I agree - the best performance I have heard of this.
Honestly this guy is even more amazing

Handel was such a rockstar.
If I had the chance to go back in time to meet an historical figure it would be Herr Handel my favourite composer. Love this piece.
Clean, crisp, every note in its place and on time. Beautifully done.
We had this on our wedding day as we left the church x love it
Congratulations God Bless x
Perfect choice.
Just watched this and all I can say is it was superb..
WOW!!! I love this piece of music. Handel's music is always so joyous. Thank you for this.
This is the best performance of this piece I have ever seen and heard. 👏 👏 👏
This was arranged as a wind quintet, and I played it (on Bassoon) about 21 years ago and it is still, to this day, the most difficult piece of music I have EVER played.
Wonderfully done! And the cherry on top is him turning his own pages too.
MAJESTIC, BEAUTIFUL, JOYFULL
So Beautiful song and exilent sound system. GOD BLESS YOU
Words are inadequate! Precision, Perfection, Feeling, even turning your own pages!!! MAGNIFICENT! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
Such Joy every time I listen to this piece !
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The recording quality is very good and offers in full triumphant glory the arrival of the queen as I never heard before even if played in a church. So powerful, so warm and joyful. Thank you. I would be very glad to be your neighbor.
Glorious ! Thank you for your gift!
When I listen to this wonderful performance,
I feel like I am witnessing the arrival of the Queen of Sheba with mysterious−looking Handel
BRAVO.
This is one of my favourite pieces 🎼🎵🎶🎹🥰
FANTASTICO ! I agree with Trevor, the most beautiful interpretarion of this incredible Handel's piece...
Splendido, davvero bravissimo. Grazie
if it isn't broke donr fix it ...this is the best version Ive ever heard. thank you !!!!
Many thanks for a wonderful performance. I particularly enjoyed the extra window showing the feet - I love the bass line.
Richard, absolutely beautiful! You are one of the most gifted organists in the world today 🙏🏻
Amazing ! I wich I can play that way one day !
This is wonderful, I can't explain, just wonderful.
Amazing
My favourite piece! 🥰
Thanks for sharing it with us and keep up the good work! I love your videos!
Greetings from Germany. 👍🏻
Such a sprightly and clean performance. Uplifting!! Thank you 😊
And now that I know what Premier Pro is, your studio preview and monitor setup at the beginning make so much more sense, and are truly awesome! Inspirational, all around!!
No one has played this music as good as you on pipe organ, congratulations, thank you, satisfies my heart.
Thanks Richard
Greetings for India.
Well done... Perfect execution. GOD bless
The best rendition of this piece I've yet to hear. You capture the joy, the "bounce." Perfectly articulated, perfectly crisp. The compelling momentum is uninterrupted. Kudos.
Thanks!
Absolutely and utterly magnificent
That Queen of Sheba played spectacularly by you was awesome
Wow Excellent 👏 no words to comment
Thank you - those words are enough 😊
Greetings from Virginia!!! Absolutely gorgeous! The show Last Tango in Halifax...Celia had that pkayed for her wedding on the piano. Much better on the organ! I needed this today. Many thanks!!
Wonderful! One of the very best renditions of this piece I have ever heard. Great registrations, and crystal clear articulation. Thanks for posting. Great job.
Amazing!
Superb rendition!
Excellent !!!! Splendide !!! un grand bravo !!!!!
I love this!!!!❤👍
Perfection! I never tire of listening to this performance & cannot describe the tremendous joy it gives me each & every time. Bravo!
Beautful,thanks.
Wonderful . I enjoyed listening to this fantastic piece of music
Great talent. Talent. Thanks from Mozambique.
The cleanest I've heard, with good balance (and almost at the tempo I'd like to hear.... everyone emphasizes its "equal 4-ness" really showing full beats on 2 and 4, and I hear it flowing alla breve [note the bass]).
Delightful.
fantastic
Beautifully controlled and clean performance, it's so easy for this piece to get away from you but you managed to keep a very even tempo and it all came together very well with great articulation. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for posting.
Hi Richard🖐🖐great playing of one of my favourite pieces 👍👍after a break of 10 yrs I’m relearning this piece on my 2nd Clavinova CVP 605 - which provides only about half a dozen pipe organ registrations! It’s sonewhat short of the “stops” that an organ provides! It’s my challenge at 81 to get back to enjoying making music!!
Very nice playing. Love the foot cam 😁
Incredible. 🤩
Fabulous Thank you !
I just listened to this for the umpteenth time. it's thrilling! Your registration for the pedal line is spot on. It's just so clear and lucid. 😎
Glad you like it!
My goodness! Excellent!
Stunning!!!
Hi Richard, I join Trevor Orme in his evaluation hundred percent. I have grown up with classical music and in particular baroque music in Germany, enjoying some of the most capable and famous interpretors of the world through radio live - and recorded concerts. I must say, that your perfomance is one of the uttermost interpretations I have ever heard. I really enjoyed it very much and I find it to be a kind of measuring bar for any interpretation of this wonderful piece oif music!
Such magnificent pedal work
素晴らしき演奏・・・
F.k me.... Amazing, takes my breath away, excellent performance Sir, thank you
Grand Richard!! Really enjoyed it!! Can you recommend a good set of exercises for pedal manual please?
Un total agrado , yo diría una preciosa versión, ojala la repitieras para coleccionarla .
Seasonal salutations from Memphis aka land of the 3 Bs: BBQ, Beale Street and the Blues. Might you share the name of the anthology, publisher and the arranger? I have one arrangement by Stainton de B. Taylor, Edition Peters, No. 7086 (Hinrichsen Edition No. 7086). From looking at your score (now in 4K) I was trying to figure out which edition it is. I thoroughly enjoy the wide variety of repertoire as well as the spoken dialogue. As for the shoes and lack of polish, I've seen some in far worse condition and have used crazy glue on mine for the bottom of the heels. The "used" looking shoes are a status symbol just like some of our very well worn out academic hood. Be safe and be sanitized. I also enjoy the full, robust registration. Dennis
Greetings from Texas. Yeeesss!! Awesome performance. To the comment or said too “loud”: turn your volume down!! Registration and volume great to me. Your opening talk in your editing room was a nice variation from talking at the bench. As an American I do not understand the Brits reasoning of more torn the barister’s robe, the more battles fought or the more scuffed up the shoes = the more years of performance completed. Jonathan Scott’s shoes are polished AND shined. I appreciate the PIP of pedals. Put some black polish on those shoes!! Scuffed shoes detracts from one’s overall appearance=this Yanks opinion. Your music is fantastic. Thanks, Richard.
❤❤❤
ГЕНДЕЛЬ!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like this console is in your house. Is it MIDI and then the sound modified to make it sound like it's in a church? Brilliant!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😍
The sound is a bit sharp but the performance is superb. Merci Monsieur!
I know Handel was German - but his Music is so English sounding!!! LOVE IT!

Gorgeous, Richard. Do you know Jonathan and Tom Scott? I think they live in the Manchester area.

Me thinks a previous post of mine (edited if you wish) should be permanently PINNED to the top of each comments section as I see yet another comment concerning Richard's shoes (John from Texas, below, and from others now and again too). Yes, we Brits are often seen as strange by our US brothers and sisters (I admit this as a Brit currently living in Oregon, USA - they probably don't come any stranger than your's truly - please restrain yourselves before commenting on this statement!) and take pride in displaying all the scuffs, rips, beer stains. .. maybe not food stains though .... we have accumulated on certain garments, hats, shoes etc. over the years. So, here is my previous post on the subject :
"The answer, my friends, is simple: We who have followed and supported Richard for a while now know that the answer is that every scratch and scuff on Richard's shoes represents a 'special and precious memory' .. I'm sure he could point to each and tell us where it originated ... this one comes from York Minster on such and such a date when ..... Precious memories, then, told in a series of scuffs and scratches, NEVER to be removed through polishing! NEVER!" 🧐😎
Are you in love with Richard McVeigh?
@@xenabellebeest GULP! Not quite sure what you mean, Marja LOL
Answer: No, not "In Love" per-se, but rather let's just say that Richard has EARNED my TOTAL respect and admiration for all he does and gives to all of us through his Beauty in Sound work and channels, and there are MANY of us who wish we could attain the same high standards of musicianship. We who are organists, choirmasters, church musicians, composers, performers etc., etc. often LEARN a lot through simply watching and listening to him. He IS brilliant and has gathered together a wonderful 'loving and friendly' crowd of regular followers as a result. So, yes, I suppose one could say Trevor is in love with him, but the word 'love' being defined only as having a deep, genuine respect and total admiration for his talents and achievements.
OK? Loved the question. A bit of a challenge that one! xxx
More of a Bromance!😉
Hi Trevor👋
Vivian Crawford- Jamaica: With alacrity. Thank you.
Most notably the Queen of Sheba always arrives to a brisk, snappy tune…
I'm willing to bet the ladies in the congregation love his "organ".
"the King of Solomon." Gawd,,he actually said that .😣
Permission to shout, “Bravo!” at an annoyingly loud volume?
Permission granted!😁👍
BRAVO!!!!
Super Bravo
Organists do it better! Nough said.
Lucifer is the true king 👑😊
Nifty page-turning at 3.05, but why on earth do you need the score? I've got a dozen 8/9-year old students who have no problem playing this from memory! It's not hard: this stuff plays itself. I start beginners from MEMORY: 1st lesson, the 1st. bar of Fur Elise: (plus of course scales): it usually takes 10/12 lessons to master the first section. Next, Bach's 1st. Prelude (while I play Ave Maria on the violin). Next, if they can stretch an octave, the first mvt. of the "Moonlight" followed by the Q. of S. THEN they learn to read music: no problem. This method WORKS: my 9 children/stepchildren have 35 Grade 8's between them. One was "Violin Girl" earning £300 a night in "Street Scene" in the West End at 9: the STRANGLERS got to no. 2 in the charts with my son backing on-stage aged 19. I myself gave the first British performances of both Khatchaturian and Kabalevsky violin concertos, both learned from memory well into my 80's, plus numerous performances of the Elgar. Try it: it's not hard!!!!!.
Oh, sorry, I forgot: WELL DONE!!!
By the way again: my youngsters can't manage the passages in close thirds in one hand, a friend sometimes steps in to help out. GREAT FUN!!!
Meh, pianists. Nobody played from memory until the 19th century. Very overrated.
The intro IS INSANELY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG.
We came here for the song, not an intro speech.
Where is the glory and splendour? too fast . no space. Just run through with no sense of the drama to which it refers.
Amazing
